A real treat for the tastebuds; the sweet grapes, the powerful cheese and the crunchy and tangy beans gives you everything you ever wanted in a salad.

This is a perfect addition to a picnic or BBQ, or even a dinner party as your starting dish. The lightness of the entire dish makes it a fantastic opener for a dinner party that might feature heavier meals for mains and desserts.

For something a little different, our bang bang chicken recipe (or tofu if you're keeping to a veggie theme) is an ideal pairing with lots of different flavours. You could even make a range of salads and let people self-serve.

Some of our favourites include the mango, chilli and fava bean salad and the Greek pasta salad.
